Regenerative Medicine Approaches for the Management of Respiratory Trivisonno et al. Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2020) 11:451 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-020-01968-1 REVIEW Open Access Regenerative medicine approaches for the management of respiratory tract fistulas Angelo Trivisonno1†, Dania Nachira2†, Ivo Boškoski3†, Venanzio Porziella2†, Giuliana Di Rocco4, Silvia Baldari4 and Gabriele Toietta4* Abstract Respiratory tract fistulas (or fistulae) are abnormal communications between the respiratory system and the digestive tract or the adjacent organs. The origin can be congenital or, more frequently, iatrogenic and the clinical presentation is heterogeneous. Respiratory tract fistulas can lead to severely reduced health-related quality of life and short survival. Therapy mainly relies on endoscopic surgical interventions but patients often require prolonged hospitalization and may develop complications. Therefore, more conservative regenerative medicine approaches, mainly based on lipotransfer, have also been investigated. Adipose tissue can be delivered either as unprocessed tissue, or after enzymatic treatment to derive the cellular stromal vascular fraction. In the current narrative review, we provide an overview of the main tissue/cell-based clinical studies for the management of various types of respiratory tract fistulas or injuries. Clinical experience is limited, as most of the studies were performed on a small number of patients. Albeit a conclusive proof of efficacy cannot be drawn, the reviewed studies suggest that grafting of adipose tissue-derived material may represent a minimally invasive and conservative treatment option, alternative to more aggressive surgical procedures. Knowledge on safety and tolerability acquired in prior studies can lead to the design of future, larger trials that may exploit innovative procedures for tissue processing to further improve the clinical outcome.

Actinomycosis is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by Actinomyces species which may involve only soft tissue or bone or the two together. Actinomycotic osteomyelitis of maxilla is relatively rare when compared to mandible. These are normal commensals and become pathogens when they gain entry into tissue layers and bone where they establish and maintain an anaerobic environment with extensive sclerosis and fibrosis. This infection spreads contiguously, frequently ignoring tissue planes and surrounding tissues or organ. The portal of entry may be pulpal, periodontal infection, and so forth which may lead to involvement of adjacent structures as pharynx, larynx, tonsils, and paranasal sinuses and has the propensity to damage extensively.

Received Date: 14 January 2019; Acceptance Date: 24 January 2019; Published Date: 25 January 2019 ______________________________________________________________ Abstract Oral surgeons very commonly encounter complications like oroantral communications and fistulas in day to day practice. An abnormal communication between maxillary sinus and oral cavity is known as Oroantral Communication [OAC]. When there is an epithelialization of oroantral communication, it leads to the formation of oroantral fistula. An unnatural pathological communication between the maxillary antrum and the oral cavity which results mostly due to exodontia is known as oroantral fistula [1,17]. Various types of local flaps, distant flaps, combination of flaps, various types of grafts, buccal fat pad are being used for the surgical management of oroantral fistulas [1]. This article describes causes, symptoms, diagnosis and management of oroantral fistulas as well as highlights various surgical treatment options for oroantral fistula. Keywords: Buccal Advancement Flap; Buccal Fat Pad; Maxillary Sinus; Maxillary Sinusitis; Oroantral Communication [OAC]; Oroantral Fistula [OAF] Introduction Fistula is an unnatural connection between two internal organs or tube-like communication joining an internal organ to the body surface.

Materials and Method: Records of patients that were treated for OAF repair were retrieved and reviewed. Data recorded were patients’ age, gender, etiology, size, loca- tion, duration, and method of repair. According to the surgical technique used to re- pair the OAF, patients were divided into three groups including buccal flap, palatal flap, and buccal fat pad. All of the patients were locally anesthetized with 2% lido- caine and 1/100000 or 1/80000 epinephrine. Then the edges of the fistula were ex- cised and fistula wall was dissected in a stitched layer by three surgical methods. The three groups were compared concerning the success or failure of surgical technique based on complete closure of OAF after three months postoperatively.

Background: Acute and chronic oroantral communications (OAC, OAF) can occur as a result of inadequate treatment. In fact surgical procedures into the maxillary posterior area can lead to inadvertent communication with the maxillary sinus. Spontaneous healing can occur in defects smaller than 3 mm while larger communications should be treated without delay, in order to avoid sinusitis. The most used techniques for the treatment of OAF involve buccal flap, palatal rotation – advancement flap, Bichat fat pad. All these surgical procedures are connected with a significant risk of morbidity of the donor site, infections, avascular flap necrosis, impossibility to repeat the surgical technique after clinical failure, and patient dis- comfort.

International Journal of Implant Dentistry (2019) 5:13 International Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s40729-019-0165-7 Implant Dentistry REVIEW Open Access Decision-making in closure of oroantral communication and fistula Puria Parvini1, Karina Obreja1* , Amira Begic1, Frank Schwarz1,2, Jürgen Becker2, Robert Sader3 and Loutfi Salti1 Abstract After removal of a dental implant or extraction of a tooth in the upper jaw, the closure of an oroantral fistula (OAF) or oroantral communication (OAC) can be a difficult problem confronting the dentist and surgeon working in the oral and maxillofacial region. Oroantral communication (OAC) acts as a pathological pathway for bacteria and can cause infection of the antrum, which further obstructs the healing process as it is an unnatural communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. There are different ways to perform the surgicalclosureoftheOAC.Thedecision-making in closure of oroantral communication and fistula is influenced by many factors. Consequently, it requires a combination of knowledge, experience, and information gathering. Previous narrative research has focused on assessments and comparisons of various surgical techniques for the closure of OAC/OAF. Thus, the decision-making process has not yet been described comprehensively. The present study aims to illustrate all the factors that have to be considered in the management of OACs and OAFs that determine optimal treatment.

Various techniques have been used for the repair of oroantral fistula (OAF) but majority of them have focused on the soft tissue closure alone, and most of the time, the osseous floor of the sinus was ignored. Existing literature supports that bone grafts supported by Buccal Fat Pad (BFP) heal well without undergoing significant resorption and necrosis. Through this case report, we wish to elaborate on the clinical success of using BFP and autogenous chin graft for simultaneous reconstruction of a large long-standing oroantral fistula with underlying osseous defect. The combination technique can prove beneficial for osseous regeneration of sinus floor and improve chances for future implant prosthetic rehabilitation. 1.

This study aims to analyse different methods of treatment of chronic maxillary sinusitis by several special- ists for the choice of the optimal treatment technique. Outline of cases We describe two clinical cases of multidisciplinary treatment of patients with chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis with the involvement of different specialists – the ENT and the maxil- lofacial surgeon. One patient was treated with endoscopic technique, and other underwent classic open sinusotomy using local tissues and xenogenic collagen membrane for removing an oroantral fistula. For assessing the condition before and after the treatment, clinical examination and computed tomography were used. Conclusion According to the results of our study, the endoscopic technique is the preferred method of treatment of patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis when there is no connection with the oral cavity. If an oroantral fistula is present, it is necessary to perform an open operation by a maxillofacial surgeon.
